About

Soil (often stylized as SOiL) is an American alternative metal band that was formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 1997. After some independent releases, the band was the first rock group signed to J Records and achieved mainstream success with their major label debut, Scars, in 2001. The J Records second album, Redefine, was released in 2004 and the band embarked upon a worldwide tour to follow. In late 2004, frontman Ryan McCombs left the group. He would go on to become the new vocalist of Drowning Pool the following year.

The band recruited ex-Diesel Machine vocalist A.J. Cavalier as its new singer and released two more studio albums (True Self and Picture Perfect) through independent labels in 2006 and 2009 respectively. Soil continued to tour worldwide and achieved strong independent success. The band had brief line-up changes until fall 2011.

Soil reunited with Ryan McCombs on a tour commemorating the tenth anniversary of their landmark album, Scars. The line-up is currently completed with fellow original members Tim King (bass) and Adam Zadel (guitar), who are the only two members to have stayed with the band from its inception until present. The band released their sixth studio album, Whole, in 2013. They released a greatest hits album titled Scream: The Essentials in 2017. An album of covers, Play It Forward, was released in 2022. It was followed by Restoration in 2023, a studio album of re-recorded Soil songs.

Soil, souvent typographié SOiL, est un groupe de nu metal américain, originaire de Chicago, dans l'Illinois. Le groupe est actuellement composé de Ryan McCombs (chant), Adam Zadel (guitare) et Tim King (basse). Soil a notamment participé à la bande originale du remake du film Massacre à la tronçonneuse, publiée en 2003, avec la chanson Pride. La B.O. de ce film fait également participer des groupes tels que Pantera, Static-X, ou encore Fear Factory.

Soil est aussi le nom du groupe précurseur de System of a Down, fondé par Serj Tankian et Daron Malakian en 1993, et d'une chanson du premier album de celui-ci. Certains croient donc à tort que SOiL est « l'ancêtre » de System of a Down.
